Sam boat looks really good in the water! Looks like the bow is down some. Good news is you have another day tomorrow to run her again!

Thanks again Ron for all the help. The CZone and Fusion are awesome. I need to change the contrast on the Garmin 7610. Where is that screen?

David K had the same problem. The units default in a auto dimming mode. Press the power key and turn it up to max. Should take care of it.

Sam, The rain finally stopped at Tenkiller. Now we are flooded with 30 feet of additional water in the lake. My dock is a 1000' dingy ride from the bank. The Corps won't let any water out. Maybe July before it is even close to normal. And did I mention the logs in the water! No Skater action for me! Your boat turned out great!

Dang, I feel bad for you guys with the weather. That is the ONE & ONLY thing good these days about California... I never have that problem.
